AT THE REVUE
By Paul Miner, c'33
The Competition club presented a bung-up East-West Revet last night —the best in the last several years. The irrespressible grins of the performer proved as infectious as a flu “epidemic on Mt. Oread, and the audience we kept in high good humor throughout The Revue contains this year what I call “Mini-Patterson,” Jimmy Patterson, as the master ceremonies, and Farrell Strawn, the knitting kiltizer, as the first officiety stoege at a Hill performance, are responsible for most of it. But the entire show is permeated with good humor, as well as their talents and the audience, not to be outdone, enlisted watching.

Dar! Kernell, James Christy, Ruth Pyle, Violet Mai Knee, Patterson, and Strawn are the actors in a skit called "The Trouble with Crowd." Kennell and Chrisy give a mental telepathy stunt that gets laughs. Miss Pyle as the dumb assistant, Miss Kiser as the "not half bad delight," with Strawn as the commentator, and Strawn fill out the bill.
A rendition of the "SL Louis Blues" and the playing of the "Indian Love Call" on a ukulele were the high points of the spot furnished by the Hawaiian Jayhawks: Fred Non, and Paul Kane The Jayhawks are good.
Venancio Avales, Felicisimo Solidarius,
and Anatecto Grospe give an exhibition of Filipino bolo and awore
in motion—seated-edged stuff is done in slow-motion.
The fumeliest skit of the show was furnished by Patterson and Janice Poole in Extraneum Africanian Inter-ludium. Patterson is a fighting general defending the barricade of orange boxes against a strange race of white

"Do you lose dynamic lift in tilting the propellers?"
Twente to Speak in Paola
"Yes, they must be flowed down." "Then it appears to have been desirable to have tilted the propellers?" "It depends on circumstances, how aware you are of their emerency." Wiley replied. "It depends upon how you see it at the time."

Cumming's body was found about 6 o'clock, approximately 50 feet from the spot he went down. The Bullocks, with Mayn and Miller, had remained at the scene of the accident and assisted in the recovery of the body.
Henry Rhody and Ernest Wilson, working from a boat with grappling hooks, discovered the body in about 30 feet of water off the fourth jetty. They reported that the wrist watch he wearing had stopped at 4:10 o'clock.
